Comment 12 for bug 1915674

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for clarifying. Just trying to follow along in the reasoning and gauge what kind of bug reports have any effect and are worth reporting in the future.

You are right, samba seems to have been installed by me and is technically not part of Ubuntu. Managing expectations is wise. The only expectation that I feel justified having when reporting bugs is that the report is considered and the decision backed by reasoning, which it is.

Technically, is the GUI that facilitates easy sharing a part of Files and therefore Ubuntu? In light of your understanding that this operation is in fact possible, it seems that that the GUI is the faulty component.

I view samba and its tools as an implementation detail of the sharing dialog in Files, which is why I have the expectation that the dialog is there to isolate me from samba intricacies, even if it means displaying another dialog asking for confirmation before performing the operation that samba judges to be a mistake.
